Sid: 
120-1

-- 
Summary: 
This event is generated when the pre-processor http_inspect
detects network traffic that may constitute an attack.

-- 
Impact: 
Unknown.

--
Detailed Information:
This event is generated when the http_inspect pre-processor detects the
presence of a web server running on a non-defined port.

Web server ports are defined in snort.conf as the variable $HTTP_PORTS
and also in the section for http_inspect. When a server is accessed on a
port not defined in snort.conf the presence of web traffic generates an
event. This may indicate the presence of an unauthorized web server.

--
Affected Systems:
	All.

--
Attack Scenarios: 
A web server may be used to transfer files from inside the protected
network to unauthorized recipients on the outside.

-- 
Ease of Attack: 
Simple.

-- 
False Positives:
None Known.

--
False Negatives:
None Known.

-- 
Corrective Action:
Check the target host for signs of compromise.

Apply any appropriate vendor supplied patches.
